The communications system includes user equipment 10 and a network side device 11. The network side device 11 performs data transmission with the user equipment 10 by using a first system or a second system.

In this embodiment, the network side device 11 is provided with a shared frequency of the first system and the second system, so that the first system performs data transmission by using the shared frequency, or the second system performs data transmission by using the shared frequency. Optionally, the first system is a UMTS, and the second system is an LTE system. In other embodiments, the first system is an LTE system, and the second system is a UMTS. Alternatively, the first system and the second system may be a combination of an LTE system, a UMTS, and a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) and other communications systems; for example, the first system is a GSM, and the second system is a UMTS.

The network side device 11 includes a first network device 12 and a second network device 13. When the network side device 11 performs data transmission with the user equipment 10, the second network device 13 first acquires load information of the first system and load information of the second system, and acquires a cycle period of the shared frequency of the first system and the second system, and the second network device 13 then obtains time slice allocation information according to the load information of the first system, the load information of the second system, and the cycle period, where the time slice allocation information includes a first time slice and a second time slice. In this embodiment, the second network device 13 preferably slices the cycle period into the first time slice and the second time slice according to a proportion of load of the first system to load of the second system. For example, the proportion of the load of the first system to the load of the second system is 1:2, so that a proportion of the first time slice to the second time slice is 1:2. In addition, the second network device 13 may determine valid times of the first time slice and the second time slice within the cycle period according to the proportion of the load of the first system to the load of the second system, where the valid time may be a specific time point. In other embodiments, the second network device 13 obtains the time slice allocation information according to the load information of the first system, the load information of the second system, and the cycle period in other manners, for example, by using a formula algorithm.

After the second network device 13 generates the time slice allocation information, the second network device 13 sends the time slice allocation information to the first network device 12 or the second network device 13, and the first network device 12 or the second network device 13 sends the time slice allocation information to the user equipment 10.
